please read this
Charge the battery

supplied power adapter to do a full charge before you start using
your phone. Also, please don’t try to take your phone apart. (If you

Choose a rate plan wisely
Your phone can use up a lot of Internet bandwidth really quickly.
Before you use your phone, we strongly recommend that you talk to
your mobile operator about data rates.
Using data services while roaming will be costly. Check with
your mobile operator for data roaming rates before you use data
roaming.
Know about privacy laws
Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can
record phone conversations. It’s a good idea to find out what the
laws are where you live before you use your phone’s recording
feature.
And finally, a few important words from our legal team

any indirect, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages
of any kind, arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, including, but not
limited to, injury, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of business
opportunity, loss of data, and/or loss of profits, regardless of the
foreseeability thereof or whether HTC or its affiliates have been
advised of the possibility of such damages. And in no event shall the
total liability of HTC or its affiliates exceed the amount received from
you, regardless of the legal theory under which the cause of action
is brought. The foregoing does not affect any statutory rights which
